Week of Sunday November 17th through Saturday the 23rd, 2024

 SUNDAY:  Church was VERY good.  I dropped off the final two OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD BOXES.  After church, Marlene, Glenda, myself, Andrea and her friend Liz met up at LaPorts for lunch.  I had the small smoked pork chop dinner, and brought part of the chop home along with one piece of garlic toast. I had a nap in the afternoon, and spent the rest of the day at home.  I messaged back and forth with Megan in the evening, regarding politics.  We are on totally different wavelengths.    MONDAY::  in the morning, I purchased my trip insurance from AAA.  The policy is fifty pages long, so I will not print it out.  But I will save it in my email, along with the confirmation/receipt.  I then worked on my homework for tomorrow's Life Group.  Then I headed over to GYPSY KITCHEN to meet up with Gail and Peggy.  First, I stopped at Citizens and got some cash.  When I got to GK, it was closed, due to ti being Monday.  I called Peggy, and by this time both she and Gail were there, too, parked

 SUNDAY:  I called Elaine to tell her that I have a very busy week ahead and don't think I should add in the turkey dinner at the Cambria Church on Wednesday.  Church was very good.  After church Glenda, Betty, Marlene and I went to LaPorts for lunch.  We invited Andrea Hayes but she said she was broke, but she wants to join us next Sunday.  I had the grilled chicken dinner, which was very good, and I brought most of my chicken home.  I spent the rest of the day at home.  I watched the movie TAKEN, took a nap, and called Jan since she did not come to church this morning.  She has had a headache all day .  I looked up information about how to renew my passport and I think I might be able to take care of it at the Niagara County Clerks Office on Hawley Street.  I think I will go there tomorrow morning.  I decided to start a spiral notebook and record important things I do so that I can refer to them if necessary.  I did that several years ago when I was dealing with a problem with my

 SUNDAY:  I got plenty of sleep last night because I went to bed earlier than usual since I skipped my Saturday nap and also getting an extra hour due to pushing the clocks back an hour.  I was getting ready for church when Peggy called to remind me that I had a small batch of cookies in my freezer that I agreed to take to the reception for Nina Leong after church.  I took it out of the freezer right away.  When I got to church first I dropped off one of my Operation Christmas Child boxes and then I took the cookies  downstairs to the room where the reception was going to be held, and I asked Peg if she needed any help.  She suggested that I come down right after church and maybe I could help.  When I got into the sanctuary, I encouraged several people (Glenda, Carol, Maggie, Catherine, Marlene and I think a couple of others) to come to the reception.  Church was very good.  Marlene's daughter, Christiana, surprised her by arriving a couple of minutes before the service began.  Mar

 SUNDAY the 27th:   Before going to church, I went to the First Presbyterian Church for the Deacon's Basket Raffle.  I only saw a couple of items that I could use or that I liked but I purchased twenty dollars worth of tickets anyways.  Church was good.  After church, Glenda, Marlene and I went to APPLEBEE's for lunch.  I had a burger and fries, which came with a huge salad.  It was very good.  I took half of the salad home.  I spent the rest of the day at home.  In the early evening, I figured out how to add contacts to my new phone and texted Pam, just to make sure I know how to use that feature.  I worked on my flickr account and I started watching THE MARLOW MURDER CLUB on PBS.  MONDAY:  I went to my eye appointment with Dr. Fetterman.  It went well, no problems and no issues with glaucoma or retinal detachment.  New prescription with slight changes.  Then I went to the Y to meet up with Pam.  She tried to reach me by phone because she could not make it because her daughter

 SUNDAY the 20th:    First thing after getting up, I threw together the ingredients for custard and put it in the oven.  It was in the frig before I left for church.  Church was great.  We honored Pastor Craig with a video and a huge card which was available for all of us to sign, because October is PASTOR APPRECIATION MONTH.  Betty did not come to church so Donna took her seat.  After church, I came home and had a very light lunch.  Then I took a nap.  Shortly after I woke up, I headed over to Peggy and David's house with red velvet cookies and baked custard and cheesy muffins.   David had prepared roast chicken, stuffing and gravy.  Peggy had prepared acorn squash. Everything was very good.  After supper, we watched the first episode of the series 24 and then two episodes of TINY HOUSE.  Then I headed home, (with leftovers) arriving about 7:30.  Mike had left a message asking if I was planning on going to Mr. Bil's Bible study tomorrow night.  He said he would skip his coin c

 SUNDAY:  Church was VERY good this morning.  I was trying to save seats for Elizabeth and Marlene, but Elizabeth did not come to church and Marlene was late and someone else took the spot I was saving. There was a bake sale put on by the youth in the lobby after church, but the lines were long and it was so crowded that I didn't even really look at what was offered.  After church, Marlene, Sue Rouse, Glenda and I went to LaPort's for lunch.  We all had the turkey dinner.  It was SO MUCH FOOD, and each one of us took food home with us.  On the way out, we ran into Wayne and Sharon Dent, and I recommended the turkey dinner to them.  I walked with Marlene over to the bank where I had parked.  She has a new car!!!  She said there is a story connected with her getting it.  When I got home, I immediately got into warm pajamas since it is so damp and cold outside.  I put a podcast by Victor Davis Hanson on SPOTIFY on tv and laid down on the couch and dozed off for a while.  I rested
